Not My Responsibility - Billie Eilish

Lyrics by：Billie Eilish O'Connell/Finneas O'Connell

Composed by：Billie Eilish O'Connell/Finneas O'Connell

Do you know me

Really know me

You have opinions about my opinions

About my music

About my clothes

About my body

Some people hate what I wear

Some people praise it

Some people use it to shame others

Some people use it to shame me

But I feel you watching

Always

And nothing I do goes unseen

So while I feel your stares your disapproval or your sigh of relief

If I lived by them I'd never be able to move

Would you like me to be smaller weaker softer taller

Would you like me to be quiet

Do my shoulders provoke you

Does my chest

Am I my stomach

My hips

The body I was born with

Is it not what you wanted

If I wear what is comfortable I am not a woman

If I shed the layers I'm a slut

Though you've never seen my body you still judge it

And judge me for it

Why

We make assumptions about people based on their size

We decide who they are

We decide what they're worth

If I wear more if I wear less

Who decides what that makes me what that means

Is my value based only on your perception

Or is your opinion of me not my responsibility
